Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Missed out on World Cup

The Sweden captain was their star with two goals against Portugal on Tuesday, but unfortunately for them Cristiano Ronaldo was in electric form as he bagged a hat-trick to win the tie 4-2 over the two legs.

"It was probably the last attempt to reach the World Cup with the national team for me," admitted PSG front-man Ibrahimovic.

"Congratulations to Portugal, but both teams deserved to get to the World Cup, but the disappointment is great as a World Cup in Brazil is now only a dream for Sweden."

Sweden coach Erik Hamren admitted: "When you lose like this it is cruel and it hurts.

"It is small margins in football, we were very close to making it 1-0, which would then have been a whole different ball game."
